Polluted Polygons, 2021

 

Through thorough experimentation, a unique series of prints has emerged, born from the fusion of recycled engine lubricant oil and assorted petrochemical waste. This unconventional substance, akin to pigment, enables the creation of layered images that appear to both clash and coalesce upon the paper's surface. Utilizing discarded engine fragments, mechanical components, and other industrial detritus as matrices, alongside fragments from traffic accidents collected from suburban locales plagued by air pollution and environmental degradation, these prints bear witness to a convergence of disparate elements.
